DivineNet - Your Hosting Partner
Many Internet professionals around the world, including many Internet Service/Access
Providers and businesses (ISPs), have found DivineNet to be a much more powerful and cost
effective solution than purchasing and maintaining their own servers, redundant lines and
hiring the staff to keep it all running. When you consider the high cost of a dedicated
solution and the fact that our Virtual Server solution offers all of the flexibility,
control and power you demand - why bother with the headaches of doing it yourself? By
employing DivineNet as your hosting partner, you can concentrate on what you do best
(which probably is what you enjoy most). The "do it
yourself" approach:
Many small to medium sized businesses contemplate installing and maintaining a dedicated
Internet connection at their office believing it is the only way to establish a powerful
Internet presence. Typically however, these business do not realize (at least initially)
how expensive a dedicated solution can be. The following schematic and table presents this
type of solution and the corresponding costs.

The ISP approach:
A less expensive alternative to a dedicated connection is to host or "co-locate"
your Internet presence with your Internet Service Provider. Your ISP will likely have very
aggressive hosting prices and may bundle "homebrewed" hosting services with
dial-up services at little to no extra charge. As attractive as the price may appear, the
"homebrewed" ISP hosting solution lacks the performance, technology, and
connectivity necessary to establish a truly effective and powerful Internet presence.
- Free up limited bandwidth -- This allows an Internet Service/Access Provider to
concentrate its bandwidth on providing the best possible local dial-up access to its
customers.
- Outsourcing the technical headache -- DivineNet provides an Internet
Service/Access Provider the ability to eliminate the technical commitment necessary to
provide quality hosting to its customers.
- Free up technical resources -- Outsourcing allows an Internet Service/Access
Provider to concentrate its technical resources and staff on other purposes which will
build the their company.
- Virtual subhosting potential -- one feature of the DivineNet Virtual Server is
"virtual subhosting", or hosting multiple domain names on a single fully
functional Virtual Server. In other words, multiple domain names, each with its own
independent FTP login and e-mail capabilities, can be hosted on a single fully functional
Virtual Server.
- Make hosting profitable -- An Internet Service/Access Provider will no longer
need to lay down the capital necessary to provide hosting servers, redundant
Internet connections, technical maintenance, etc. rather, the DivineNet Reseller
Program will credit an Internet Service/Access Provider with discounts of up to 50% off
monthly rates.
The DivineNet approach:
DivineNet's advanced Virtual Server solution gives you what you would expect from a
dedicated server, but at a shared server price. The DivineNet Virtual Server gives you full
control to remotely manage your sites, without the high cost of maintaining your own
server, Internet connections, and the staff to keep it all running.
